The energy grid requires a reliable foundation that current replacement plans fail to provide. Please circulate this petition to help us reach the threshold of two hundred fifty signatures.

The stability of our regional power grid remains a primary concern as we analyze the potential impact of these facility closures. I am currently compiling technical data to present before the utility commissions to ensure they understand the full scope of our energy needs.

Coal is reliable and sustainable, many people work in this industry. Wind and Solar are not reliable, they are not as clean as people think. The amount of energy to manufacture, Wind and Solar leave a very larger carbon footprint. They cannot keep up with the demand, brownouts and blackouts, plus the amount of electricity for electric cars enormous.
You look at the good jobs lost, not only at the plant, but the mines. For every one plant or mine job there are probably about ten other jobs affected. Subsidies need cut off for renewables on a fair playing field coal kicks green energy ass. Billions spent on it and its 7% of our power.
Husband is a coal miner and without his job we would be homeless. Plus plants will save us money not these green ways they cost more and a huge waste in out landfills!
Closing these plants not only hurts the full time employees, but also the many contractors that repair and overhaul the equipment on and off throughout the year..millwrights, iron workers, boilermaker, electricians etc.. We need these plants!
I work at a coal fire plant as a major maintenance and they are trying to close it down so I understand the stress of worrying about your job. Green energy isn’t as green as everyone thinks. Fossil fuels power can me clean too you just have to have the proper systems in line to make it clean too and more efficient.
We need energy!
These plants are the heartbeat of the Boilermaker profession

We need our 2 coal fired electric plants in Clover, VA to stay open. We can not have reliable electric with out them right now. My wife needs her oxygen machine to live! Thank you.
